uh, Catholics don’t believe that the bible is literal...since the days of the early church fathers it was recognized that a lot of the stories were stories for our eddification, not history or science lessons.

I did not say literal - I said true, if metaphor, allegorical or literal I'm not qualified to argue.

Catholicism allows for either perspective, you can be fundamentalist or you can agree with the theory of evolution or any number of views between the two. It is not written anywhere that you must be one or the other.
